Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: At 6:30 pm i turned left out of a restaurant parking lot. there was plenty of time to cross traffic and enter the vacant turn lane. my 2002 nissan altima lost power leaving me in the path of oncoming traffic. luckily, the approaching traffic was able to brake before hitting me broadside. in the previous two days the car had briefly lost power while driving on the highway. there were no near accidents on these occasions. the problem was diagnosed as a faulty crankshaft sensor. it was replaced at our cost. this was the same part recalled in 2005. it was replaced then also. there was also a near accident before the first replacement. this part has failed twice, with near accidents. both were potentially fatal. *tr the dealer also performed a exhaust hanger recall on the vehicle. updated 09/18/07 *tr
